Doubletree Guest Suite Resort

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Doubletree Guest Suites Hotel is a 229-room all-suite hotel located within the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels. The seven Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels are located on the property of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, but are not owned by Disney.

The hotel originally opened on March 15, 1987 as the Pickett Suites Resort. It completed a $2M renovation in 2005, which included the addition of Doubletree's new Sweet Dreams bed within the guestrooms.

[edit] Branding history

In December 1989, Guest Quarters acquired the Pickett Suites brand, and the Pickett Suites Resort was re-flagged as a Guest Quarters Suite Hotel shortly afterward. Four years later Doubletree Hotels acquired the Guest Quarters brand; the former Guest Quarters Suite Hotels were re-flagged as DoubleTree Guest Suite hotels during the first half of 1995. Although Doubletree's parent has since been acquired by Hilton Hotels Corporation, no changes have been made to this particular property's branding.
